Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Cut butter into thin slices and then cut it into the flour until pieces of butter are small.
3 cups unbleached organic all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ cup salted butter
Add in the buttermilk slowly and incorporate with flour mixture. Don’t over mix.
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
Sprinkle a small amount of flour on work surface and place dough on top of it. Press down to make flat and then add the ham and cheddar cheese to the top. Knead dough a few times to incorporate the ham and cheese.
½ cup chopped ham, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Press or roll out into ½ inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or highball glass to cut out biscuits.
Bake biscuits for 10-12 minutes until they begin to turn golden brown on the top.

Don't want to bother rolling the dough? To make drop biscuits, simply increase the amount of buttermilk by 1/2 cup then scoop the dough out onto a baking sheet.
Makes 10-12 biscuits.
